Complete Inventory
Maya Ethnobotany Complete Inventory of plants 1 Fifth edition, November 2011 Maya Ethnobotany Complete Inventory:: fruits,nuts, root crops, grains,construction materials, utilitarian uses, sacred plants, sacred flowers Guatemala, Mexico, Belize, Honduras Nicholas M. Hellmuth Maya Ethnobotany Complete Inventory of plants 2 Introduction This opus is a progress report on over thirty years of studying plants and agriculture of the present-day Maya with the goal of understanding plant usage by the Classic Maya. As a progress report it still has a long way to go before being finished. But even in its unfinished state, this report provides abundant listings of plants in a useful thematic arrangement. The only other publication that I am familiar with which lists even close to most of the plants utilized by the Maya is in an article by Cyrus Lundell (1938). • Obviously books on Mayan agriculture should have informative lists of all Maya agricultural crops, but these do not tend to include plants used for house construction. • There are monumental monographs, such as all the trees of Guatemala (Parker 2008) but they are botanical works, not ethnobotanical, and there is no cross-reference by kind of use. You have to go through over one thousand pages and several thousand tree species to find what you are looking for. • There are even important monographs on Maya ethnobotany, but they are usually limited to one country, or one theme, often medicinal plants. • There are even nice monographs on edible plants of Central America (Chízmar 2009), but these do not include every local edible plant, and their focus is not utilitarian plants at all, nor sacred plants. -

Crop Profile for Mamey Sapote and Sapodilla in Florida January, 2014
Crop Profile for Mamey Sapote and Sapodilla in Florida January, 2014 Production Facts Mamey sapote (Pouteria sapota) and sapodilla (Manilkara zapota) are both tropical plants in the Sapotaceae (1). Acreage of mamey sapote has held fairly constant, with approximately 300 acres in production (2). There are over a dozen cultivars of both mamey sapote and sapodilla, with various fruit sizes, flavors, colors, and maturity dates (3,4). The average yield of mamey sapote in Florida can approach 5,000 pounds per acre. At a price of $2.50 per pound, the Florida crop is worth approximately $3.8 million (2). There are approximately 30 acres of sapodilla in production (2). Production Region Mamey sapote and sapodilla are grown exclusively in southern Florida. One hundred percent of both crops’ acreage is located in Miami-Dade County (2). Production Practices The mamey sapote grows in an open, spreading form with a thick central trunk and few large branches. Trees grown in Florida may attain a height of about 40 feet. The tree is native to the American tropics (Mexico and Central America), and it is believed to be introduced to Florida in the mid-1880’s. Leaves are large (twelve inches long and four inches wide), simple, and obovate to oblanceolate in shape. The underside is light green or brownish and pubescent when young but becomes smooth when mature. The leaves are clustered at the ends of the small secondary branches. Leaves fall just prior to flushing. Flowers are white, perfect, and borne along small branches, with a tendency to cluster toward the ends. -
Substrate for Seedling Emergence of White Sapote in Brazil

A completely randomized design was adopted and four treatments (substrates) were performed, with five repetitions of 50 seeds each, reaching 250 seeds in total. Substrates studied were: Plantmax® (processed and enriched barks + expanded vermiculite + processed and enriched peat); Coconut fiber; Washed sand and soil mixture commonly used for seedling formation [soil (red Oxisol) + sieved sand + bovine manure (3:3:1)]. The percentage seedling emergence and emergence rate were calculated at the end of the experiment, i.e., at 40 days after sowing. Seedling emergence and the speed of this process were not influenced by the substrate and all substrates studied could be used for seedling establishment of white sapote. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Keywords: Casimiroa edulis, exotic fruitful, growing media, seed propagation INTRODUCTION cordingly, a good substrate is absent of pathogens, has a high level of soluble nutrients and adequate pH, bulk den- White sapote (Casimiroa edulis, Rutaceae) also known as sity, pore space, electrical conductivity and C/N-ratio (Horn matasano and zapote celanco is a fruit native to Central 1996; Di Benedetto 2007), specially for fruits (Meletti America and Mexico (Yahia 2005). -

INTRODUCTION The pouteria campechiana have been used for medicinal purposes. It have been known to possess diverse biological activity as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal activity and an important source of many biological active compounds. For a long period of time, plants have been a valuable source of natural products for maintaining human health, especially in the last decade, with more intensive studies for natural therapies. The antimicrobial effects of these plant was attributed to the number of phytochemical constituents like flavanoids and triterpenes. -
3406. MEDITERRANEAN FRUIT FLY State Interior Quarantine
Section 3406. Mediterranean Fruit Fly Interior Quarantine A quarantine is established against the following pest, its hosts, and possible carriers: A. Pest. Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) of the family Tephritidae is a notorious pest of most fleshy fruit and many vegetables. The adult has banded wings and is smaller than a house fly. B. Area Under Quarantine. 1. An area shall be designated as under quarantine when survey results indicate an infestation is present, the Department has defined the infested area and the local California County Agricultural Commissioner(s) is notified and requests the quarantine area be established. The Department shall also provide electronic and/or written notification of the area designation(s) to other California County Agricultural Commissioners and other interested or affected parties and post the area description to its website at: www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/medfly/regulation.html. An interested party may also go to the above website and elect to receive automatic notifications of any changes in quarantine areas through the list serve option. 2. If an area is not undergoing the sterile insect technique, an infestation is present when eggs, a larva, a pupa, a mated female or two or more male or unmated female Mediterranean fruit fly adults are detected within three miles of each other and within one life cycle. In an area undergoing sterile insect technique the criteria for an infestation are the same except a single mated female does not constitute an infestation but counts towards an adult for two or more. 3. The initial area under quarantine shall be a minimum of a 4.5 mile radius surrounding the qualifying detections being used as an epicenter.
